1) Name of the procession of cars: We can call them parades, motorcades or tanks. I think parades sends the wrong message. Motorcades sounds cool like presidential motorcades. Maybe tanks is the best.
2) Idea: Have a procession of cars with Ron Paul signs drive around their cities, neighborhoods getting attention from people as well as getting MASSIVE media attention.
3) When this would take place: Meetups could do this every night if they wanted and/or they could do it on the weekends and/or holidays. I am just thinking that those times would be more convenient. It could also be done where we have a nationwide set of car parades on a certain day.
4) Car Speakers: People could get car speakers to put on the top of their car from like radio shack or something, if they wanted, to get attention. They could play a Ron Paul type stuff from it.
5) How cars should look: Nonpermanent signs in the windows is fine or doors with painters tape so it doesn't take the paint off the car.
6) How it would work: The meetup group would gather at a certain meetup location at a certain time and would line up their cars and drive out.
7) Preparations that one might want to do beforehand: Someone might want to figure out a good route to take for visibility and draw it out ahead of time on a map and then give the map out to the participants. You might also want to give the participants another page of instructions.
8) An idea that would shake the United States for years to come: How about getting like a massive procession of cars. I mean 20 cars is a lot-but what about 100, 300, 1000? Or, what about a procession of cars through every state where one could join in at any point? What about a procession across country where new people would take over at every location, thereby covering the whole united states?
9) Media: Press releases could be made up ahead of time and sent to the media to let them know what you are doing and at what time. If we do something which is national news, then we could send the releases to the national media. If it is local it could be sent local, state-state etc. TV stations will cover it if you are having a procession of cars (i don't know how many they would want you to have in order to cover you, or they might want to cover you if you keep doing processions.)
10) Police Escort: If you want to get through red lights without stopping and if you have a lot of cars you might consider this. It costs money. You pay off duty police to escort you.
